An Awful Scene At a Wrecked Circus
Train Near Tyrone,
Five Men are Dead.— Eleven Badly Injured
Taken to the Altoona Hospital.— Wild Ani-
mals at Liberty.—Spreading Terror Through-
out the Vicinity of the Accident Complete List
of the Victims.
Three miles and a half north of Ty-
rone and Clearfield branch, an awful
railroad disaster occurred at about 5:30
Tuesday morning. e
Walter L. Mains’ circus train com-
posed of ten flat cars, three stock cars,
four coaches and one box car was on its
way from Houtzdale, where it had been
showing Monday, to Lewistown.
Coming down grade the heavy train
got the best of the engine, from all ac-
counts, and ran away. At M¢ECann’s
crossing it jumped the track. The en-
gine, No. 1500, in charge of Steys Cress-
well, engineer, kept the rails, but every-
thing else except the coaches went over
the bank into the swampy field. All
that saved the coaches was the lunch
car which got across the track and stop-
ped them. It seems providential that
the lunch car should have saved the
three sleepers with their load of 125 hu-
man lives from an awful fate in that
vale of sorrow.
The smashup is something that can-
not be described. Of most of the cars
nothing is left but firewood and old
iron. The flats were new, having been
built in Youngstown, Ohio, only last
year. The show train as a whole was
considered by men in the business to be
the best equipped of any in the busi-
ness. Now it’s nothing but a wreck.
Car piled up on top of car, and the
heavy timbers gave way, crashing in
like match-wood. The destruction to
stock was enormous, but the loss of hu-
man life is still more awful.
Six were killed almost instantly in the
wreck, and many injured, eleven being
taken to Altoona for treatment in the
city hospital.
The names of the dead are :
Frank Train, treasurer and ticket-seller
of the company, of Indianapolis,
Ind.
J. Strayer of Houtzdale, Pa.
William Mutterly of East Liberty,
Pa.
William Heverly, of Tyrone.
And two bodies not yet identified.
The injured at the Altoona Hospital
are as follows :
Willis O'Bannon. Chambersburg, Pa,
aged 80, wounds of scalp and face.
David Jones, Harrisburg, Pa., aged 33,
sprain of right thigh.
Frank Morse, Rochester, N. Y., aged
18, eyebrow and scalp wounds.
William Evans, Williamstown, Pa.
aged 19, laceration of right ankle and
and probable internal injury; condi-
tion critical.
William E. Patchell, Dubois, Pu., age
20, contusion of left nee.
James William Haney, Alberton, West-
moreland county, Pa., age 27, contu-
sion of right shoulder and scalp
wounds, right ear nearly torn off.
Louie Champaign, Rochestra, N. Y.,
fatal internal injuries, unconscious.
Those whose wounds were dressed
and who have gone are as follows :
John Chambers, colored, age 30, Mer-
cersburg, Pa., right thumb bitten by
lion.
Arthur Richards, Butler county, Pa.,
age 18, laceration of left upper eyelid.
George Corten, Holidaysburg, contu-
sion of chest.
Frank Barnett, Tarentum, Pa., age 20,
contusion of left arm and hand and
laceration of thumb.
For an instant after the wreck all
was still. The next moment the cries
and shrieks of wounded men and animals
broke the quiet of the morning.
The scene was indescribable,
As soon as possible a message was
telegraphed to Tyrone from Vail station,
one mile from the scene of the accident,
and arelief train was dispatched with
surgeons, etc.. to the scene of the
fatality.
It was two hours before Frank Train
could be reached. He was riding in the
ticket wagon and was baried beneath a
pile of debris, many feet high. He was
conscious ull the time. Several times
he urged on his rescuers, saying,
“Hurry up, boys, if you're going to do
anything for me, or I'll die.” The last
timber was just removed from his body
when he breathed his last.
J. Strayer, who was also killed, only
joined the show last night and was mak-
ing his first trip with it. He isa broth-
er of Reuben Strayer of Altoona.
So far as could be ascertained on the
spot the total loss of rolling stock was
everything on the {rain except the
coaches. In them were sleeping about
125 people. Had they left the track,
the result is terrible to contemplate,
The loss of life among the horses is
very large. The boss hostler, Mr.
Charles Evans, counted up 61 dead all
told, among them about all the valuable
ring borses.
Poor Finke, the white leader of Joe
Berriss’ six horse team, lay dying at
noon, groaning like a human being.
He suffering was valued at not a cent
| less than $10,000. All the horses ridden
by Toney Lowanda, the principal rider
of the company, are also dead.
Of'the animals all escaped from their
cages. Early arrivals at the scene say
that strange animals were to be me}
everywhere making for the woods, and
that the trees around McCann's crossing
were tenanted with many colored birds.
Of them, the birds, monkeys, two
“Gravediggers’’ from Australia, a black
panther and a silver tiger from Asia all
got clear away but all Lave been re-
captured or killed except the black tiger
which is still at large.
The “man-slaying’ ape, the most
dangerous animal of the whole lot, was
luckily soon taken alive and safely
caged up. Strange to say, the elephants
and camels the heaviest animals of the
lot, were not injured in the least, and
were apparently enjoying themselves as
if nothing had happened. In one place,
not 20 feet square, lay the bodies of
eight horses, a little pony and its young
foal. . In another were five horses, and
close by was a crushed box car with an
inextricable mass of horses, harness and
timber, impossible to pictura, All were
dead, and their positions showed that
some at least had struggled for a short
time. Others had not moved. The cars
had caught them fairly, and, as one of
the hostlers said,pointing out one horse :
“Poor Chicago, he never knew what
struck him.
Scattered over the field were the bod-
ies of other horses that had staggered
away with broken limbs and internal
injuries and had been shot to put
them out of their misery.
Three lions escaped. «One was quick-
ly caught and caged ; another was lassoed
and tied to a tree by a colored attendant
of the show, and the third was after-
wards shot. The colored man who
crawled under a box car and slipped a
noose over the head of the lion was bad-
ly bitten.
Two tigers belonged to the show and
both got away. One was caged safely
but the other met his fate at the hands
of Alfred Thomas, a native of McCann’s
Crossing. Mr. Thomas is a farmer and
his wife was attending to the milking of
the cows at about 6 in the morning,
when the Bengal tiger leaped into the
yard and seized one of the cows and
killed it. Mrs. Thomas fled to the
house and alarmed her husband who,
with a rifle, killed the tiger.
A bear, a hynea, a savage water buf-
falo, the alligators and a lot of valuable
snakes which were in a glass case also
escaped, but all of them were captured.
In all sixteen cages containing wild
animals were crushed and the contents
escaped, but as mentioned above all
were captured with but few exceptions.
All the vehicles, chariots, buggies,
show wagons, etc., to the number of
a all told are utterly destroy-
ed.
Mr. Main was asked about his insur-
ance but said that he could not make
any estimate of his loss or insurance as
yet. Two hundred thousand dollars is
placed by many as alow figure. A
valuable new calliope was also utterly
smashed up.
The only animals killed besides the
horses were two Sacred oxen, both of
which were so terribly injured that they
had to be shot to put them out of their
misery.
Around the wreck, among the trees,
tents were pitched as quickly as possible,
and the wounded horses stabled in them
and their wounds dressed. Not one of
them escaped uninjured. By dinner
time supplies were being brought to the
spot, and cooking for the helpers pro-
ceeded with. From Tyrone everything
was sent that was possible.
The wounded were taken to Altoona
on a special train. The scene in the
car was a frightful one. The back of
the seats had been removed and beds
made out of the cushions with mattresses
on them. A stretcher had been made
out of one of the gaudy doors of ani-
mal’s cage, which had been torn off in
the wreck, a sure sign of the complete-
ness of the smash-up.
Mr. Hugh Harrison, the correspond-
ent of the company, was in one of the
coaches asleep just before the crash
came. He was aroused by the way the
car was lurching and on awaking found
that it was going at an awful rate of
speed.
Being in an upper berth he had no
means of escape. Had he been in a
lower one, he says, he would have open-
ed the window and jumped out, be-
cause he felt sure that a bad wreck was
imminent. Not a minute later the
crash came.
None in the coaches were injured.
Coroner Poet was notified and empanell-
ed the following jury: D. R. Miller,
foreman; David Adams, D. T. Cald-
well, R. G. McLanahan, A. A. Smith
and I'. G. Heverly.
Steve Cresswell, the engineer did not
show up since the accident around the
scene of the wreck. Mr. Harrison said
that it would have been as much as his
life was worth to have done so.
The coroner’s jury bas not as yet
placed the blame for the accident at |
Decoration DaY.—Never was there
a more ideal day than last Tuesday
on which to beautify the graves of our
patriotic dead, and never was the cus-
tom more generally observed in Belle-
fonte, Year after year for more than a
quarter of a century the 30th of May
has been dedicated to the men who gave
their lives for their country, and the
beautiful custom of remembering them
in song and story and heaping high
their graves with flowers is gaining
rather than losing favor.
Upat the Union cemetery, Tuesday,
the fragrance of countless flowers filled
theair and not only were the heroic
dead remembered but almost every
mound bore some evidence of loving toil
and affectionate remembrance.
Little was done in the way of decora-
ting residences or public buildings but
here and there, from house top and win-
dow floated the bright folds of the stars
and stripes, and although one’s patriot-
ism cannot be judged by the number of
his flags the custom isso inspiring and
honorable that it should be more gener-
ally observed. i
It was a day for every body. The
wheelman gave a parade that called
forth admiration and applause from the
fair damsels. The athletes of the High
school and the Academy met on the
ball field and played a game which end-
ed in favor of the Academy 16 to 14.
The society belles, in smart costumes,
rode around the town on Potter's drag.
The Minstrels and their band delight-
ed the small boy and the fun loving cit-
izen. The seekers after novelty went to
Vail to see the awful wreck—over
which we ourselves could shed a tear,
and the veterans their friends and neigh-
bors decorated the graves and did honor
to the dead.
The procession, composed of Gregg
Post, company B. Camps 447 and 639
P.0.8. A, Ir. 0. U. A.M. school
boys bearing flags, Pleasant Gap and
Bellefonte bands and prominent citizens
marched from the Court House to
Union cemetery, where after prayer
music and an address by John G. Love,
Esq., the graves! were decorated. At
the conclusion of the decoration ser-
vices the procession returned to the
Court House square, where it was dis-
missed by the Rev. G. W. Zchner of
the Evangelical church.
The members of Gregg Post worship-
ed at the Evangelical church last Sun-
day, where the annual Memorial sermon
was preached by the pastor, Rev. George
W. Zehner.
FREIGHT SHIPPING FROM BELLE-
FONTE.—A. number of our business
men have been troublod by a mistaken
idea which people in the country dis-
tricts seem to have regarding freight
shipments from this place. Some of
our country readers who have ordered
goods from this place will understand
the intent of this article which is to
place Bellefonte merchants in the proper
light before their patrons.
For illustration, let us say that a man
from Rock Springs orders ten barrels of
lime from McCalmont & Co., of this
place. He mailed his order yesterday,
Thursday, June 1st, and wants the goods
shipped “to-morrow” which is to-day,
June 2nd. Thinking of course they
will reach the freight station at Stru-
bles, on the Bellefonte Central Railroad,
to-day hedrives down and to his disap-
pointment finds that they have not ar-
rived at that point. He is at once disap-
pointed and angry because of the sup-
posed dilitoriness of the parties from
whom he has ordered, but this explana-
tion will satisfy him:
The letter he mailed at Rock Springs
yesterday could not possibly reach
this place before 9 o'clock this Friday
morning. The mails are not all distrib-
uted before 10 o’clock and consequent-
ly the firm to which it was written
would not receive it until that time.
Now the last hour for receiving all out-
going freight at both P. R. R. and B.
C. R. R. depots is 10 o’clock A. M. so it
is easily seen that an order cannot be
filled and shipped by freight the same
day itis received. -
Tae Post MorTEM HEeLD—In the
last issue of the WATCHMAN we gave
an account of the peculiar circum-
stances surrounding the recent death of
Mrs. Winkleman, of Nittany Hall,
and of the arrest ot John H. Wahn, a
Lock Haven quack doctor, for implica-
tion in its cause, be being supposed to
have practiced abortion on her, from
which she died.
On last Friday moraing the body of
the dead woman was exhumed from its
resting place in Cedar Hill cemetery,
near Salona, Clinton county, and Dis-
trict Attorney William J. Singer, with
Drs Harris and Seibert, of this place,
and several other persons made an ex-
amination. He has positively refused to
divulge any of the knowledge gained
from the post mortem, but itis known
any particular place. However many | that the evidence all confirms the be-
stories are afloat concerning its cause,
The most plausible one seems to be that
the engine was unable to hold the
heavy train. It was something un-
usual for one engine to bring such a
train down the mountain unassisted.
Many of the animals were owned by in-
dividual members of the show and their
loss will be keenly felt.
lief of Wahn’s guilt. Nothing definite
will be known until the August court
when the case will come up for trial,
Wahn is in jail here, without bail,
but still claims that he will
prove his innocince when the time

——The town council of Bellefonte
showed its calibre last Friday. In the
morning an agent named Townsend,
representing O. 8. Kelly & Co., of
Springfield, Ohio, arrived in town. In
the same afternoon that agent had had a
special meeiing of council called and
had sold a road roller to the borough at
a cost of $3600. A great hub-bub was
stirred up and the members of council
were roundly scored for going into a
deal which thus placed the town deeper
in debt when there was no apparent
need for it. The whole thing is settled
now. The road roller won’t materialize,
because the limit of borough indebted-
ness has already been reached and the
purchase of the roller, involving $3600
more, is not permissible under the stat-
utes.
SHE MicHT HAVE KILLED HERSELF
—On"~ Monday afternoon Margaret
Stuart, a little daughter of John W.
Stuart, of State College, was walking
along the pavementin front of the Lo-
gan machine works store near this office
and not noticing that the cellar door
was opened tumbled backwards down
the steep steps. She fell clear to the
bottom, a distance of ten feet and, mirac-
ulous as it may seem was not hurt in
the least. Persons who saw the little
girl fall were so badly frightened that
they were afraid to look into the cellar
way at first, for everyone expected that
she would be badly hurt, but S. M.
Buck ran to her assistance and the by-
standers were delighted at seeing her
walk off, apparently none the worse for
the tumble.

DECORATION DAY AT EAGLEVILLE.
—The patriotic citizens of Eagleville
observed Decoration day in a manner
highly creditable to themselves and re-

way to the Disciple church where Rev.
Long, of Lock Haven, delivered an able
Memorial sermon. The three near-by
cemeteries were then visited and the
graves of all departed soldiers were dec-
orated. Atnoon the ladies served a
sumptuous dinner in Cap’t. Quigley’s
hall after which the throng dispersed
feeling that the proper tribute had been
paid the memory of the dead.
